. >>> a rising tide lifts all boats, it's a phrase that say sums up the obama's administration approach to the economy, rather than targeting specific groups the president insisted that policies benefiting all americans will in turn help those who are the most in need. but that philosophy is not sitting well with some in the african-american committee who some criticize as a lack of action. my next guest is ryan mack, president of optimum capital management and today he'll meet with one of the most vocal critics dr. cornell west to discuss the state of the economy. welcome. >> thank you for having me. >> the racial wealth gap is astounding. the census bureau shows whites have 22 times more wealth than blacks, a gap that doubled during the recession largely due to the housing crisis. many in the african-american community say that's unacceptable and the president doesn't seem to be doing much about that. >> again, i think we have to look at the whole picture here and i definitely am in line with a lot of things that dr. west says, a lot of the critics, on holding the president more accou

the sweet spot of the administration is right after a re-election. the challenge will be to apply some policy prescriptions that are ambitious but achievable and with the reality divided government, that means reaching out. polls all show the top issues in the country. the economies and jobs and then the deficit. and the issue for democrats is not to overreach. not to feel that they can ignore the issue of deficit. they're going to have to find a way and the president is going to have to put some real plans on the table behind the rhetoric of reducing the debt. in addition to investment and immigration reform. which are all consistent with making america more competitive in the 21st century. >> what about gun violence, this is an issue that was an extremely hot topic only a few weeks ago, that seems to be fading away. do you expect the president to make a major issue of that in his speech? john? >> i think the president will address gun violence. he barely noted in his inaugural address. this is a time for policy prescriptions and following through.
